96 jetta gl starts runs fine till engine gets to temp then engine dies.will turn over but won't start.checked for spark and found none.once engine is cool will start again.HELP!

Is the check engine light on ?
Have you checked base fuel pressure with a gauge ?

Check all of the new wires especially the coil wire to see that none are loose. You may need to have the coil checked for spark.

you might have problems with the coils
check the temp of the coils when it stops working
if faulty they heat up alot

hi there did you check your carbs base plate,and did you check your idle jet on your carb ? if that dnt work check your timing an and booster pipe to your break booster let me no if you get it rite ok

Hi.. I had a very similar problem recoverrd to are workshop by the A.A around a month ago.
Exactly the same problem (left to cool started.? Once worm or hot engine just turning over ?)
Afdter reading all known folts and finding nothing to do with what I'd wanted. It took some time ?
Cutting it sort if found when I replaced a intermittent faulty fuel relay and run till engine hot (untill cooling fan cut in) Then turned off engine .. on turning key to see if this had cured my problem?
The engine started frist turn of key after repeating this a number of times .. this car was now starting fine (whether hot or cold)
Problem fixed..
Hopefully this will be of some help to yourselves

a voltage check doesnt tell you alot with a coil... check resistance on primary and secondary circuits of coil to test it... ignition module controls coil so if its ok id go after the module... see foriegn cars are no different they break down just as much, its just way more expensive...keep your head up...

the neutral safety switch is probably faulty the radio says safety because the wrong code was entered 3 time key needs to be on for 3 hours hook up battery charger check engine light may be code for trans issue

change the crank censer.

I experienced the same this last week to find out it was the coil pack. My technician replaced the coil, and told me that this was a common problem withe the 96 jetta.

TAKE IT TO THE CLOSEST AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE ALTERNATOR.
